Overall impression of the dvd is excellent. I have watched it one time and will watch it many times over to get the full benefit.Expecially helpful was the comments about omitting the white sky which I was not doing.Giving the shutter speed in one of the sections was very helpful.I would like more indepth information on photography horses in motion.You made reference to ISO but I don't recall you addressing what shutter speeds should be used.I would like to know more about which mode is better for shooting horses eventing, TV mode or sports mode.

Excellent exposition on taking pictures the animals. You covered a vast amount of information.

thank you,Marvil LaCroix

Digital Photography Unleashed is an excellent DVD to watch for beginner tointermediate photographers. It focuses on key points such as lighting andartistic perspectives and gives the user a lot of great tips and tricks forshooting in various conditions. If you have a digital camera and oftenwondered how all the rest of the gadgets work, this is a great way to findout. Jim Miotke presents a very interesting and in-depth look at yourcamera. It may not be the same make or model, but the areas that arecovered will at least give you a good starting point to explore the rest ofthe features. This is a must have for any budding digital photographer'slibrary.

I really enjoyed this DVD. It was great to meet and see Jim in action. I found his advice to be very informative. It is definitely aimed at beginners, and covers all the basics very well. I truly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone just starting out in photography and needing a "short course". Now if only I lived near any of the places he went to!!

I just received your Digital Photography Unleashed DVD today and could not wait to "spin it up! I was glued to it for quite a while and will have to finish it as well as revisit it many times.

The content is excellent and applies to photographers at all levels. It is never too late to revisit the basics of photography as well as grasp them as a new student of the art of light and to understand how the camera sees vs. the human eye.

It is a great training tool for amateurs to reinforce the basic of digital and film photography learned in class like I did a year ago.

I am planning to use your video as one of the Central Connecticut Camera Club upcoming activities and it will get many other uses.

My grade is A+
